tion of the day was the address of Dr. T.
C. Iliif of Salt Lake City, chaplain-in
chief-of the G. A. R.. who talked a full
two hours on the subject, 'Sunny Side
of my Soldier Life.' As the title indi
cates his address abounded in pleas
ant word pictures of the ridiculous and
funny side of army experiences, with
just enough of the pathos to awaken
the tender memories of by gone days
and experiences that were too real and
serious to have a funny side. The ad-,
dress captured the audience, both old
soldiers and civilians, and the boy of
fifteen, who has now ripened into the
gray headed comrade, was the hero of
the day."

SOLDIERS' HOME.
Major J. A. McGinty is making quite
a record in his management of the.
Soldiers Home, and has been highly
complimented by the Governor. Adju
tant Reynolds' report for the month
of November shows the cost of main
tenance per capita was reduced 10 cents
from the month before. For October
the total expenses was 8999.21 and jtlie
per capita expense per day 59 2-3 cents.
For November the total was $905.60
and the per capita 49 5-8 cents. The
number of inmates increased 5 and the
average attendance 7. This reduction
in cost was brought about in the face
of extra expenses made necessary by
the severe cold and by an accident ne
cessitating additional medical atten
dance. The account for November
also includes 347.45 expended for per
manent improvements. The saving
the governor says, is affected by Mr.
McGinty's thorough Knowledge of the
needs of such an institution and by his
practical methods. Much credit is also
due Mrs. McGinty, who personally
looks after many points where saving
can be made. Withal, the manage
ment is perfectly satisfactory to the
inmates, the governor stating that he
has not heard of a single complaint.
The number of inmates of the home
today is 72, four of whom are on leave
of absence.
The money paid by the national gov
ernment towards the maintenance of
the home is accumulating in the treas
ury, as there is no law under which it
can be used. It will be tbe duty of the
incoming legislature to make provi
sion under which the fund can be ap
plied to the maintenance of the insti
tution. This contribution is $ 100 per
year for each inmate.
Can't
Eat
This is the complaint of
thousands at this season.
They have no appetite; food
does not relish. They need the toning up of
the stomach and digestive organs, which
a course of Hood's Sarsaparilia will give
them. It also purifies and enriches the
blood, cures that distress after eating and
Internal misery only a dyspeptic can
know, creates an appetite, overcomes that

toms and cures nervous headaches, that It

CITY COUNCIL.
The regular meeting of the city
council was held Monday night. All
councilmen with the exception of C. G.
Stiles, present.
The usual number of bills were pre
sented, and but one disallowed, that of
Police Judge Brumbaugh, who claimed
both fees and salary. The statute pro
viding that the police judge shall re
celve as compensation the fees pre
scribed for justices of the peace, tLe
council was of the opinion, and the
city attorney also, that his salary bill
was not a legal claim. At this action
the able judge registered a $16 kick,
and gave notice he would sue the city.
The judge is laboring under the delu
sion he is also h justice of the peace.
The fire committee, headed by Chief
Thorp made a very full report of their
tour of inspection of the city, which
showed a number of defective Hues are
being used, the most dangerous of
which are in the Chinese restauants on
Main street. The Marshal was order
ed to take the report and see that the
ordinance in regard to defective flues
was strictly enforced.
Mayor Gwinn was added to the fi
nance committee, with instructions to
go over the county books and deter
mine whether or not any money was
due the city from the assessor. There
is a difference of something like $170
existing between the books of the as
sessor and city treasurer, and no de
linquent taxes have been paid in for
over a year.
An ordinance was passed extending
the fire limits so as to include block. 5.
